Lynch's cow is decapitated, its bloody head discarded inside the cow's body, which is torn open. Forks and knives stick into its flanks, ripping the cow's meat. Across its sides the phrase "eat my fear" is written. From all the cows I've seen, Lynch is the only cow artist to make reference to the primary use of cattle in the United States: foodstuff.

According to the New Yorker, Lynch's cow never saw public display in New York. Organizers of the Cow Parade even tried to deny that Lynch had made a cow. The cow was displayed earlier in the year at San Francisco'sYerba Buena Gardens. You can take a look at pictures of the cow from Jeff's Weblog: http://ican.editthispage.com/cowsonparade/
